SilverFox88... Written in the classic style of a true Chinese wumao with the not-so-subtle threats and intimidation (and the kindergarten grade insults like calling us a 'poodle' - thats a particularly Chinese way of name-calling if I do say so) that if we don't say, do and think exactly as China says, then we will be punished like naughty children.
Australia has created no provocations in the South China Sea... it is China that dropped the nine dash line over it, claiming ownership rights of it from their neighbouring nations who have traditionally owned it. We aren't the ones promising military action to annex a neighbouring state that has been independent for everybody here's lifetimes. We don't constantly commit corporate espionage or constantly steal other nations tech, ideas and research and breach their patents. And No one has commanded the Chinese to stop trade with Russia... and no one expects them to.
And what did Chinese do to Australia? What apart from block our imports, tariff our products and generally threaten and harass us for deigning to question Chinese propaganda and wolf-warrior diplomacy - yes words only... but you immediately respond with actions.
Oh... and constantly screwing us over in business (particularly in Africa) bribing or exerting influence on Govts to screw over Australian shareholders so they can appropriate the asset as a whole. You aren't ones for sharing.
Yeah... most people don't respond well to bullies, and we certainly aren't going to cower at your threats.
